Description
Oumijiacan (欧米加参 b. 1928) is a dancer of Tibetan heritage born in modern-day Sichuan. In 1953, he was working as a traveling performer in Yunnan and was spotted by members of the Southwest Visiting Team, including Zhang Ke (张苛 b. 1930). Oumijiacan moved to Beijing in 1953 to join the Central Nationalities Institute Cultural Work Troupe (later the Central Nationalities Song and Dance Ensemble 中央民族歌舞团). Oumijiacan went on to be a leading performer, choreographer, researcher, and teacher of Tibetan dance and performing arts. He also served as Vice Director of the Central Nationalities Song and Dance Ensemble. Here, we see Oumijiacan performing one of his most famous works, "Reba On the Grassland," with his students in the Central Nationalities Institute Art Program.
